Do people get cramps with BFP??

Taken 4 pt that are all positive (very faint line showed up really early and continued to get darker) - my period is/was due this Friday (two days from now) and even though I’ve got a bunch of BFP (big fat positive (pregnancy test)) I’m scared because I’ve been getting bad cramps. Did anyone else get pretty bad cramps that feel EXACTLY like period cramps but stay pregnant? So nervous it’s a chemical pregnancy or I will mc but also really excited about the BFPs so idk. So conflicted!

Oh here’s the tests! I took a positive ovulation test that said I would ovulate in 24-48 hours but I forgot to take one the following day which is why there’s a date range for each test - not sure if I ovulated that day or the next day when I forgot to test.

yes! i had cramps very bad with my first baby. i believe i had severe AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) cramps like i never had before in my life at 7 dpo and then tested for funsies and giggles at 8 dpo and there was pink lines on wondfo and FRER!

i didnt have AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) cramps with my son last year though, but i did have noticeable uncomfortable one-sided cramping the day before i got the BFP (big fat positive (pregnancy test)) with him.

i spotted both pregnancies at 5 weeks and it was all fine for both babies. sorry for blabbing. congratulations!

Don’t be sorry, soooooo helpful to hear all the details and makes me feel way better. The cramps just feel so similar to AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) that it’s messing with my head. But now I’m starting to get really excited!!!

I had cramps that felt exactly like my period for about three weeks after I found out I was pregnant =) I never had any bleeding, just the cramps. It can be your uterus growing and stretching! I even thought, "Man I thought being pregnant was supposed to give you a break from period cramps?!?" because they got so bad! Now I am 25 weeks with a healthy baby boy =)
